daring spy took his men to Atlanta Tia,
the enterprise failed from the absence OF
Confederate railroad engineer whose
help had been promised. Inc men, with
Andrews, succeeded in reaching the
Union lines again in safety, at Murtrees-

These points were then under the COM

astronomer, who had been detached with
10000 men from the army ri Buell. for the
purpose Of guarding Nashville on that side,
and of INJECTING any injury in his power
upon the enemy The report OF Andrews,
who brought fun information OF the condi-

probably confirmed the daring schemes he
was already entertaining, and between
them they arranged for the boldest push
of the war. What they meant to do may
best be inferred from what they actually

THE duplication of pay accounts in the
army is again almost epidemic During the
past year five officers have gone wrong in this
particular kind Of rascality. Three of the
five have deserted and cannot be found; one
is dead (Lieutenant Powell, of the Signal
Service); and the last one, Lieutenant Will
cox, is now under arrest in st. Louis. Nine
teen sets of vouchers for his December and
January pay have turned up in the Paymas
ter's office, and there may be more to follow.
This is severe blow to the boosted ''honor'
of the army, and it is to be hoped that an ade-
quate punishment may be melted out to the
only one of these five reprobates who has been
caught. What is due to all of them might
we'll be put on him, that he may serve as a
warning to any others who may be tempted to
do the same thing.

in his entire career, military or civil, to
entite him to the position in which
he has posed before the country, history has
been singularly blind to it. He is simply a
cheap, two-penny politician, his career in

place on the commission is given him simply
because he has been repudiated by his own
district, and the President has been made to
feel that the country must take care of him,

THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH.

A Washington physician says the President
does not take enough exercise, and suggests
that private gymnasium be fitted up for him
in the White House, where he might give
half an hour day to gymnastic exercises If
it should not be found feasible to construct a
presidential gymnasium in the White House,
the President might reduce his flesh and OBJ
tain needed exercise in another way. An ar
rangement could doubtless be- made with
prominent Democrats to call at the Executive
Mansion and take turns letting the President
practice on them, they to be rewarded at the
end Of the season with some appointment that
would heal their wounds and remove all traces
of executive energy. The average Democrat
will stand great deal of pounding for the
prospect Of an Office, and recuperates very
rapidly under the soothing influence of sal
airy. Thus. instead of developing his muscles
by striking swinging bag, the President
might amuse himself with lifting few
Indiana Democrats Some of them would
stand being knocked out a great many times
if they could be assured of little Office at the
end of the season. BY selecting such as have
been publicly denouncing his administration,
the President might accomplish a double
object, and punish them while improving his
own health. No doubt he has often felt as if
he would like to hit some of them between
the eyes, but the usages of polite society
would hardly justify that exercise without a
previous understanding. AS part of the
course of executive gymnastics, it would be
entirely proper, and in every sense refresh.

Democrat two or three times before

intricacies of the law previous to its going
into effect. The managers of each road will,
therefore, be enabled to regulate matters
according to their own version of the laws

find out what the thing is all about, will have
plenty to do in Strengthening out the tangle.

A coLoRED man in Cincinnati has brought
suit for $4,000 damages against a female mem
Der Of a specially company performing in that
city. In his complaint he alleges that he is an
old resident of Cincinnati and peaceable and
law-abiding citizen. Recently he went to the
theater for the purpose of witnessing and enjoy
ing the play. He purchased ticket and took
seat in the balcony. Defendant appeared upon
the stage to sing song. Her selection was en-
titled Oars New Coon in Town." Plaintiff
says that at the conclusion of every verse the de-
PENDANT would point her finger at him. He states
that he 'is not new coon come to town." but
an old resident, and he found it extremely an
moving to be thus pointed out before a crowded
house He further alleges that the action of the
defendant was malicious, and asks for judg-
ment against her for the amount above stated.
The law business in Cincinnati would seem to
be very dull.
